COOLIDGE DRIVE EXTENSION
December 13,1988
Ron Baker of Boundary Engineering presented his proposal to extend Coolidge
Drive to Wheeler Road in order to provide direct access to the proposed health
clinic from Wheeler Road.He stated that the Planning Commission had request
ed that Juniper Drive be extended through to Wheeler Road but the property is
not available to allow that so it the extension of Coolidge Drive was ex
plored.There are some problems with the extension of Coolidge Drive as it
would only be 30'of right-of-way available which would not allow for
pedestrian facilities and there is about a 14'difference in elevation from
Wheeler to Coolidge.Staff has reviewed the proposal and is concerned about
the steep grade,narrow right-of-way proposed,and lack of pedestrian
facilities.
Mr.Rimple wanted to know if there would be a possibility of acquiring more
property from the irrigation district to allow for a full width street to
Wheeler.Mr.Baker stated that the district has an existing building in the
way.
Mr.Frederickson felt that the developer should work with Samaritan Hospital
to provide for an access into this area through the hospital property.
Mr.Chandler was concerned about the steep grade,especially in the winter.
There was some discussion by the Council about the project.
Action Taken:Mr.Chandler moved that Council go on record as opposing the
extension of Coolidge Drive,seconded by Mr.Reese,and passed unanimously.
